The word 传来 is formed by combining two distinct characters, each contributing a core spatial and conceptual idea: 传 (chuán) conveys the notion of transmission, passage, or relay from one point to another, while 来 (lái) provides a directional orientation meaning "to come" or "toward the speaker or a reference point". Their fusion creates a unified concept where an action (transmitting) is inherently coupled with a specific directional path (arriving here), picturing an event like sound, news, or a signal actively moving through space and reaching its destination.
